Let's say I want to store the user's First and Last name in the client-side cache (browser) which will be fetched throughout the site. This will then expire after some time. How can I do this using ASP.NET MVC (i.e. storing and fetching data in the cache through the controller)?

I tried using HttpContext.Current.Cache but that apparently uses server-side caching. So what happened was when users logged in at the same time, they were getting a different first and last name.

Thanks!

    Hi Amy. I'm trying to store and fetch pieces of data (e.g. first and last name) in the cache instead of an entire page. How can this be done using OutputCache? – Adrian Valenzuela Feb 09 '18 at 05:15
  • If it's small information then, Why don't you go for cookie or else session ? – Ray Feb 09 '18 at 05:30

    @AdrianValenzuela its the same thing. just replace the word "page" with "data". its treated the same way. `OutputCache` caches the *result* of the action method. If the result is a page, it caches a page. If the result is data, well, guess what happens. –  Feb 09 '18 at 05:46
  • Use javascript `localStorage` method `setItem()` and `getItem()` but it will not automatically expire after some time. – sridharnetha Feb 09 '18 at 07:14
